Sharon,   Thank you.  I could think of some, but I thought that I would put the question out to the listservs.  I also need to catch up on my reading! :)    Tricia  Subject: RE: Romance Novels for Teenage GuysDate: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 17:06:10 -0400From: sraw...@njstatelib.orgTo: irea...@hotmail.com; njy...@njstatelib.org; njla...@njla.org; njla...@njla.org Just off the top of my head:   John Green\x92s Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines aren\x92t what I\x92d call \x ...Continue Reading

Just off the top of my head: John Green’s Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines aren’t what I’d call “straight romances” but they have romance in them, written from male’s point of view (both for older teens). Not sure I’d call 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher a romance but it is from the boy’s point of view but he does have a crush & doesn’t get the girl in the end (not to give anything away here!) (also for older teens). It’s been a long time since I read it but I think Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia ...Continue Reading

Hello,  everyone.  Have you had any requests for Romance Novels from Tween/Teen Guys?  For example...   1.       Books where the characters go through some drama and fall in love, but end up not together at the end. 2.       Romance novels written in a male voice \x96 they want the romance from a man\x92s perspective/male main character.   Guys are reading the Twilight Saga.  Do you know of any other authors or series?   ...Continue Reading

Hi Karen We had Ramya Ramnarayan:  Traditions of India from Young Audiences of NJ and they were wonderful though not inexpensive -- $1,020 (3 dancers) - we had grant funding. I don't know if you'd be able to negotiate the fee with YANJ but it is worth the try.  Sometimes I go to our friends of the library when I need extra funding for a program.   Young Audiences has another Middle East dance group but they too are rather expensive.   Good luck!
